Absolutely the worst movie.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The acting in this movie is really good.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

To take this movie from a serious and completely professional perspective would be inappropriate. This movie has the feel of a crazy but captivating action movie that is enjoyable to watch and love. Sure, the acting may be a bit off at times, but the rest of the movie holds up surprisingly well. The musical scoring is good, the plot is a bit generic but isn't too cliché that it's frustrating, and the casting/scripts were chosen well.To conclude, if you want to see a movie purely to just laugh and enjoy yourself, this is recommended.

Plot: A courier for a local crime lord must deliver a mysterious package while being chased by a horde of unusual gangsters.This was very disappointing to me, especially having Lundgren and Austin in a movie together would've been great, but the problem is the story is not very interesting, the writing is sub-par at best, the action is lackluster compared to their other films, and worst of all its just boring. Austin and Lundgren do fine with what they do, but they aren't given much along with the rest of the cast. The villains are very one note and one dimensional. I'm glad the writer would then write the John Wick films which definitely improved his writing and gave the heroes and villains depth and motivations.If you're a fan of either Lundgren or Austin, avoid it at all costs watch Hunt to Kill for Austin and Skin Trade for Dolph, they are more worth your time and they deliver what you want.

I won't lie, i am a fan of Steve Austin's movie. They are usually low budget action flicks, but they deliver nicely and I'm in for a good time. Dolph Lundgren is also a star that i like, and owns several DTV movies he made, some pretty good, some not that great, but there is certainly more good than bads.This movie and Maximum Conviction(Austin/Seagal) came out nearly at the same time, but i had trouble finding The Package. After having saw the previous Austin movie with Seagal i tough "hey if Austin can make a decent movie with Seagal, he surely can with Lundgren" but i think either the long wait have put my expectation too hight or i was misleaded by the cover.I tough Austin and Lundgren where partners in this, but the facts are that Lundgren end up being the big bad of the movie, even tough the movie present him as a main character and somewhat when Austin's charisma free partner get kill, you are waiting for him and Lundgren to team up together or something to go fight the baddies team lead by Darren Shahlavi.Honestly i can't understand where it got wrong. I mean the mercenary team of Darren Shahlavi was OK, with a little bit more time and dialogue put trough them i think they could had been better villains and Darren proved many time he is excellent at playing the villain. But here they use him more as a sub boss if i can use a video game term. Add a Jerry Trimble cameo(and the guy still delivers pretty good) for another sub boss and you end up wondering where the movie is going most of it.The final twist was kinda disappointing to me, and the fight between Austin and Lundgren is far from being impressive, especially considering the intro scene of Lundgren that was way better. I know Dolph ain't getting younger, but not that many years ago he delivered some pretty cool fight scenes in his recent movie. Must be the robe or whatever... i dunno.In any case, yes its a DTV movie, and yes it ain't terrible, i appreciated seeing Trimble again, Darren Shahlavi work very well with the script he was given. Lundgren dialogues are very OK, i just feel the general story of the movie could had been better, and the fights more impressive. Austin's hand to hand fights also need improvement, especially if they put him against real martial artist... I know he is a brawler, but still...Anyway i am sure Austin's got many more nice action movie in store, and Lundgren will reprise his excellent role as Gunnar in Expendables 3, so it ain't the end of the world that this movie was under my expectation.I would give it a 6.5 could i use this rating, cause i had a decent time, i was just expecting more.

I've read the reviews and I must say; some are very harsh. I also find the apparent lack of open-mindedness to be frustrating. It's a movie and they should evoke a sense of fun and excitement no matter the content. I've seen near all of Dolph Lundgren's movies and not all are great, not all are amazingly well written but all have something decent about them and this one is no different. I'm not the one to go to if you want to see someone denigrate someone's work. I try to find the good points in everything. The Package, while ill acted at times, does have a good story line. Tommy, played by Steve Austin, is the hired muscle employed by the mob. He's married, loves his wife and wants a better life for both of them. He doesn't like what he does and he doesn't feel good about it but he does what he has to, to make a life and pay the bills.Tommy is paying off his brothers debt to his boss and with one more job, he is promised an "out" and a clean slate for his brother. The only thing he has to do is deliver a package to a man only known as "The German" played by Dolph Lundgren. As he travels to his destination he is followed and attacked repeatedly by thugs from all sides. Their intentions are to take the package, kill Tommy and collect a huge payday. What they don't understand is that "The Package" is not what they think it is and Tommy is not just a delivery boy.If you look past the semi bad acting you find a story that is actually pretty good. You end up routing for Tommy and feeling bad for "The German". Not every bad guy is bad for bad reasons. Sometimes they need to be bad for a good reason.
